Some gunmen suspected to be members of the Boko Haram sect attacked five villages in Geire Local Government in Adamawa State killing dozens of people in the early hours of yesterday.

A resident who escaped being attacked, Naslam Clarkson, told The Guardian yesterday in Yola that the attackers were being confronted by security operatives who arrived the villages to repel the insurgents at about 12 noon.

According to Clarkson, the attack started as early as 6 am when the people were preparing for church services. “I managed to escape narrowly through the bush. I saw more than six dead bodies when I was running in the bush, the armed men fired shots at me several times, but God helped me to escape. They came in vehicles, including motor cycles,” he said.

Geire Local Government is where the Federal University of Technology is located.

Neither the police nor the military were yet to give the details of the situation and the number of casualties as at press time, but unconfirmed report put the figure at 36, mostly children and women. Some of the injured victims were said to be receiving treatment in some hospitals in Yola.

A community leader from Geire and former Adamawa State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) secretary Philneas Elisha, who confirmed the incident to The Guardian said his village was among those attacked. He said the style with which the gunmen carried out the attack was similar to that of Boko Haram. He listed the villages attacked as Densare, Wonamo, Dwajam, Tabongo and Noyine.

Memo to the media: ISWA is shorter than “Boko Haram”.
A matter to ponder. How long will they persist in the outdated “Boko Haram”?
No breath need be held. When a plane came down in Lockerbie killing all the passengers and a number of people in the town the event was dubbed the “Lockerbie Air Disaster”. Within twenty-four hours it was found to have been a bomb attack. The British media went on calling it the Lockerbie Air Disaster for TWO YEARS before changing to the more accurate “Lockerbie Bombing”.

They call themselves the Islamic State, now, before that they called themselves “People of Sunnah for (Islamic) Propagation and Jihad”, not only a mouthful but one (like “Islamic State”) emphasizing their cause for what it is: Islamic supremacism, imposing a pure Shari’a state, and eradicating the hated Christians.

Boko Haram, “Western Education is a Sin” requires less explanation and bother. Much vaguer. It fits better with the narrative forever whitewashing Islam, de-emphasizing Islam as the true source of motivation and behavior, ignoring the long long history with story after story just like this one in Nigeria and Africa. When “Boko Haram” bombed Christian churches while Christians were celebrating Easter in April of 2012, killing 39 worshippers right there in church, U.S. Assistant Secretary for African Affairs Johnnie Carson (another comedian) said “religion is not driving extremist violence” (in Nigeria). Former President Bill Clinton told us that “inequality and poverty” are “what’s fueling all this stuff.” Because it can never be acknowledged that it is Islam and what it teaches, at best some twisted hijacking of Islam for other nefarious purposes, and this Boko Haram “sect” will be shown to have no relationship to the majority of Muslims in Nigeria or the Muslim-dominated police and army, notorious for doing nothing to protect Christians, or a bloody history that includes the killing of a million Christians in the Biafra War, an attempt by Christians to have their own independent state free from Muslim persecution.

–“the attack started as early as 6 am when the people were preparing for church services”
–“unconfirmed report put the figure (casualties) at 36, mostly children and women”

Boko Haram has not been stopped because ordinary Muslims in Nigeria massively support them, give them food and shelter and money. As long as ISLAM is a Death Cult promoting murder of disbelievers, Boko Haram or something like it will exist.

The ideology of POLITICAL ISLAM (a world-conquest Death Cult) is what must be fought IDEOLOGICALLY by governments. Supremacist Islam itself is the problem, just as supremacist Nazism was the problem.
